I think I said this already, but I am writing a WWII story. Could you or your grandpa answer some things about it?

1. What theater did he served in?

2. What years

3. His rank

4. His branch

5. Was he drafted or did he enlist

6. I’m assuming he served either with the North Atlantic fleet or in the Pacific

7. Where was he…[Read more]

Yeah, I’d pick mountains over the beach any day. 😉

That’s neat that 3 of your great grandpas served in WWII! I’ve always been fascinated by that time period as well. Especially because of all the stories my great grandpa has told. He kept a journal while in the submarine and it’s such a priceless thing to…[Read more]

@katja-r hello!

Ooh do tell about your characters please! I may be able to draw them. I’m always looking for something good to draw!

@katja-r

Hiya!!

Sorry this took me so long to reply too!! I feel so bad about that!!

I’m honored that you want to meet one of my characters.

Which character would you like to meet? I’ll give you five options.

Judah(he loves meeting everyone)

Jordan

Zack

Zenyth (he’s an assassin)

Theodore (my teddy bear)

Your pick!…[Read more]

Hi @mgtask !

I agree with @katja-r that Tolkien had a huge influence on fantasy, but Middle Earth isn’t that much medieval – it’s a combination of 19th century pastoral England, Northern mythology, ancient Europe, and Tolkien’s imagination. In fact, Narnia is much more medieval – knights, ladies, castles, hunting the white deer, feudalism,…[Read more]

@katja-r

Will do! 😉

That’s neat that your brother is a cinematographer… And that you get free pictures!

We usually go on a family vacation every year. Last time we went to Colorado. I had never seen mountains before so that was amazing!

A couple years back we actually went to Wisconsin! My great grandpa served in WWII as a submariner and…[Read more]

I hope you liked those. Sorry I had to send them all separately but they still are so cute and awesome. Tell me if you like them! Thanks

@katja-r

Thanks! I might even post one of my short stories. One of them is more comical than anything, lol. It would be interesting to see what people think.

My profile pic is from a photoshoot I did with my sisters when we were bored. 😆 It was fun. Thanks Ifor the compliment!

I live in Missouri. How about you?

@katja-r

Ok, cool! Yeah research can get tedious… I’m also working on a mystery set in the 1920s. I’m treating it more like an exercise as far as plotting and character development go. But I’ve still had to do a lot of research!

I haven’t decided if I’ll share my story on here… I might share the first chapter when I finish it though. I’ll be…[Read more]

@katja-r

Wow, that story sounds interesting! I would have to do a lot of research before writing about a different country like that… One of the reasons I like to stick with fantasy. 😉 What made you choose India? It sounds like a very intriguing setting.

@katja-r

Hey Grace,

Thanks. Yeah that sounds fine. I can always tell you a few things you can change, if you’re good with that.

@katja-r

Looks good. I’ll give it a shot.😄 Maybe I’ll give her kinda modern clothes with a slight fantasy twist. Would that be okay? I’ll try to keep your changes in mind too. That pirate dress…😒☹️

Thanks for letting me do this!

@katja-r

Oh cool! I read it really liked it! Posted a comment.

@katja-r

I’ll have to check out the part of your story you posted! 🙂

My fantasy is about a girl named Emory. She has a twin sister, Amara, and they are the heirs to the kingdom of Faran. When tragedy strikes and the queen, their mother, dies from a sudden illness, Amara takes over the kingdom, even though their mother had left it to them both…[Read more]

Katja,

yes. If you came you would be put in a specific group just for your level of the violin. It is a very helpful and instructive week (and tiring lol)

I am not sure when we will be hosting them this summer due to the virus and the restrictions set in place but maybe I can get back to you on that.
